With an animated educator, Mimi Mouse, to give verbal instruction and feedback, TeachMe: Kindergarten is an educational app that can be played by kids independently. It includes six age-appropriate subjects for parents or educators to select: sight words, addition, subtraction, spelling, writing letters, and writing numbers. Parents also can choose each subject’s difficulty level and even specific questions. TeachMe: Kindergarten has a unique reward system to help keep kids motivated and engaged. For every three correct answers, kids earn a coin. These coins can be used to purchase stickers to create elaborate sticker scenes or to purchase items for a virtual aquarium. Sticker scenes can be exported and shared with parents and other family members.

What Users Love About the App

“This app is very educational for my kids. I used the second grade level game to teach my child long addition and subtraction before he was old enough to learn it at school. The kindergarten game is great for learning phonics reading skills, sight words, and early addition and math skills.”

“I have used these apps with my now 7th grader and I am currently using them for my 2nd grader. They help reinforce the foundational skills for reading and math. They make it fun by adding rewards and having things kids can buy. I am also a teacher and I recommend this app to all parents when they ask what types of apps they can use for additional support for their child.”

“A must have!!! I just luv this app, and so does my 4 yr old daughter! This the best investment that I have made in my daughter’s education. Because of this app she has learned adding & subtraction, is starting to identify words, & is also improving her spelling!”

“I have purchased MANY applications for my kids (5 and 3 years old) and this is the first app where I’ve felt compelled to write a review. Bottom line…this is an excellent app. It teaches so many different things – all in the format of a game so the kids don’t necessarily realize that they’re learning.”

“The best! App available for those wanting to learn basic arithmetic and spelling/sight words (pre-k/kindergarten). Perfect combination of education and entertainment. Let’s the child work at his/her own pace. Everything is verbally reinforced. Addition and subtraction are illustrated. Correct answers let the child earn coins to be used to buy stickers to create their own scene. My daughter can play this for hours and learn the whole time.”

What Users Dislike About the App

“Everytime my son picks up his finger or goes another way it makes him start over. Its not fun he is stuck on the same letter forever. Its absolutely ridiculous!!! Would like a refund.”

“Very upset!! Bought the bundle, 1st grade wouldn’t download and still won’t without purchasing it again.”

“I absolutely dislike the fact that the questions are random. I have students who only need help in English and its frustrating that you can not select the subjects YOU desire. If I had the option to choose the activity, easily a 5 star rating. 75% of the questions so far have been math and thats not what I’m looking for.”

“The only problem is that even if the phone sound is switched off or the do not disturb is on, it still makes noise. It’s a problem because if we are somewhere where I need the sound off, this app is too loud.”

“There are still wrong answers listed and I really hate that I cannot change from the coins to the sticker rewards like in the toddler version of the app. Please, please fix these aspects of the app to make it perfect!”
